The '''Signer Dragons''' (シグナーの{{Ruby|竜|りゅう}} ''Shigunā no Ryū'') are a [[series ]] of [[DragonLevel]]-7 and 8 [[TypeDragon]] [[Synchro Monster]]s, introduced in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''. These legendary dragons play a part in the legend of the [[Crimson Dragon]], as well as being connected to the [[Signer]]s themselves. That connection being that these legendary beasts, who are actually servants to joined forces with the Crimson Dragon, were the ones who sealed an evil within the [[Nazca Lines]].

That very same evil, which is now known as the "[[Earthbound Immortal]]s", reappeared once again in the world as [[Duel Monsters]] cards used by the [[Dark Signers]].

All Every Signer Dragons (excluding the ones featured in the manga) have Dragon has been featured in the anime and have has been released in the [[OCG]]/[[TCG]]. They are: "[[Stardust Dragon (character)|Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (character)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]", "[[Black Rose Dragon (character)|Black Rose Dragon]]", "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon (character)|Ancient Fairy Dragon]]", "[[Black-Winged Dragon (character)|Black-Winged Dragon]]" and "[[Life Stream Dragon (character)|Life Stream Dragon]]".

In the anime, [[Professor Fudo]] gave the "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]", and "[[Black Rose Dragon]]", and "[[Ancient Fairy (anime)|Black Rose Dragon]]" Duel Monsters cards to [[Rex Goodwin]]. These cards were originally designed so that their corresponding Signer could activate the safety switches for the [[Ener-D]] system.

There are six original Signer Dragons. {| class="wikitable"style="text-align:center"! Monster !! [[Signer]] !!

Despite this, "[[Life Stream Dragon (anime)|Life Stream Dragon]]" has a downgraded, armored version, "[[Power Tool Dragon (anime)|Power Tool Dragon]]", which is a required [[Synchro Material]] for its [[Synchro Summon]]. Eventually, ''[[OCG]]''-original upgrades of the other Signer Dragons were released. ===Cosmic Synchro Monsters==={{main| 8Cosmic Synchro Monster}}These are upgraded forms of "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)| Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[WINDRed Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]", characterised by a name centered around a space phenomena. They are not [[Synchro Summon]]ed in the usual method. "[[Shooting Star Dragon (anime)|Shooting Star Dragon]]", for example, is the [[Accel Synchro]] evolution of "Stardust Dragon", requiring 1 [[Tuner Synchro Monster]] and its base form. Although [[Jack Atlas|Jack]]'s new [[ace monster]] "[[Red Nova Dragon (anime)|Red Nova Dragon]]" ("Red Dragon Archfiend"'s evolution) is not an [[Accel Synchro Monster]], it uses a method called "[[Double Tuning]]" to achieve its evolution and is in the same power range as "Shooting Star". In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, to Summon these [[Synchro Monster]]s, the user has to perform a specific ability: examples are [[Clear Mind]] for "Shooting Star" and "[[Blazing Soul]]" for "Red Nova". The [[ATK]] of "Shooting Star Dragon" and "Red Nova Dragon" are 500 points less than their base forms' "[[Majestic]]" versions, while their [[DEF]]is equivalent to their original form's ATK. "[[Shooting Quasar Dragon]]" is considered the ultimate peak of the Signer Dragons and all [[Synchro Monster]]s. {| 2500class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"| 2000! Monster !! Base form !!

It has released in both , who stole the original "[[TCGStardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]] and the " from [[OCGYusei Fudo]]. It is highly unlikely that and transformed it into "[[Red Malefic Stardust Dragon Archfiend]]" will receive a "[[(anime)|MaleficStardust Dragon]]" form due to Stardust being the only monster card stolen from the 5D's timeframe.

===Synchro Dimension counterparts===In the ''[[FileYu-Gi-Oh!

===Limit Over Accel MonstersDowngraded versions===The [[Limit Over Accel Synchro monster]] is considered to be the ultimate type These are downgraded forms of Synchro Monster.

Limit Over Accel Synchros are Synchro Summoned in a similar way to Cosmic Synchro Monsters. However, they do not require their corresponding Signer counterpart in their summoning requirements. They use 2 normal Synchro Monsters, plus 1 Tuner Synchro {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"! Monster, which is the same to how !!

There is only 1 Limit Over Accel Synchro Monster: "[[Shooting Quasar ==Crimson Dragon]]", the ultimate evolution of "'s card forms==The [[Stardust Crimson Dragon]]". It must be Synchro Summoned, and it cannot be Special Summoned any other ways. However, despite this downfall, it is able to attack once for every [[Synchro Material Monster]] used to Synchro Summon it, and it can negate 1 itself also possesses some card or effect per turn. It can also call for backup, Special Summoning a "[[Shooting Star Dragon]]" from the [[Extra Deck]] if it ever gets removed from the field. In the anime, it was Synchro Summoned using all of the other Signer Dragons (the exception being, of course, "[[Stardust Dragon]]") as [[Synchro Material Monster]]s, utilizing the effect of "[[Life Stream Dragon]]" to reduce their levels' to 1forms.

===Duel Dragons===

In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's'' manga]]manga, the Signer Dragons do not appear. Instead, a similar archetype series known as the Duel Dragons is featured, and it is used by the modern [[Duel DragonPriest]]s is featured. Five Many of them are slightly redesigned Signer Dragons: "[[Ancient Pixie Dragon (manga)|Ancient Pixie Dragon]]", named "[[Enma Moonlight Dragon Black Rose (manga)|Black Rose Moonlight Dragon Red Demon]]", "[[Ancient Fairy Blackwing Dragon Black Feather (manga)|Ancient Fairy Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon]]", "[[Power Tool Mecha Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend (manga)|Hot Red DragonArchfiend]]", and "[[Flashing Carat Stardust Spark Dragon - (manga)|StardustSpark Dragon]]" and . There is no [[Duel Dragon]] counterpart of "[[Life Stream Dragon (anime)|Life Stream Dragon]]"; "[[Mysterious Winged Power Tool Mecha Dragon (manga)|Power Tool Mecha Dragon - Black Feather]]"appears instead. However, not all All the Duel Dragons are related to and their variations have been released in the Signer Dragons''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''.

==Playing Stylestyle==There are various kinds of playing styles for each dragon, especially "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]". All of the dragons (except "[[Life Stream Dragon (anime)|Life Stream Dragon]]") have no specific [[Summoning Conditionscondition]] and are easily s, making them easy to [[Synchro Summon|Synchro Summoned]] onto the [[Playing Field]]. Thus , so they can be used in almost any [[Extra Deck]].

==TriviaReferences==Despite the fact that "Stardust Dragon", "Ancient Fairy Dragon", "Red Dragon Archfiend", "Black Rose Dragon" and "Life Stream Dragon" fought against the Earthbound Immortals in the past, the Crimson Dragon did not awaken "[[Power Tool Dragon|Power Tool Dragon's]]" [[Life Stream Dragon|true form]] in the present when it was going against [[Devack]] (a Dark Signer with the very [[Earthbound Immortal]] it had defeated 5000 years ago). <references />

It appears that forgery of the Signer Dragons cannot be done without imperfections - when Paradox stole Yusei's Stardust Dragon, the copy was a black-bordered card with a mirrored image, something that was not observed in any of the other cards that Paradox copied. The hologram of the monster, however, was unaltered. In contrast, the card copies of Red Dragon Archfiend that Lester created were identical to the real ones, but the holograms of the monster itself replaced the red coloration with yellow, purple, and teal, a different one for each copy.{{SacredArchseries navbox}}{{ArchetypeNavboxArchseries navbox (anime)}}
